what you all think are the most empowering and wonderful things about being female...
How do you define yourself as female? Is it just a biological identity or do you think of it as something deeper or more profound?
And, again, what are the aspects of being female that you find most exciting, powerful and important?
I am blessed to have an easy answer to that question--I define myself as female because I produced two children, and I'm very proud of that! But, going beyond that as you asked, I do have a knowledge of the act of creation within me and I think that is at its esence female. I am never happier than when I am creating something or helping it realize its full potential.
One of the things I love about being female is taking a male instinct or impulse and being able to temper it or change it to be whole and balanced. The male drive within me is also very strong and sometimes I need all the strength of my femaleness to keep it under control!
